Disappointing. Very poor start...big gaps everywhere. Little threat. Not much pace. Same as last year.

I’ve been all for giving Ross a fair crack of the whip but for me he’s got ten games....

Susceptible at the back, lacking ideas and quality going forward. Barely tested their keeper and had it not been for a quite fortuitous penalty award we’d have left that game with nothing. There were no obvious improvements on any aspects of our deficiencies last season. The team selection was puzzling, particularly the omissions of O’Nien, Maguire and McGeady, and question marks remain over a number of players and positions.

Aye it’s early days, things may get better, but there were very few, if any, signs that things are much improved from where we left off last campaign.

Very fair and valid assessment.

Annoying as fuck. I forgot how much shithousery went on and how shit the refs are at this level.

Get a decent left wing back and ‘rest’ Grigg for a handful striker and we’d be ok

Please not the old shithousery again and again.......its part of football be it the highest to the lowest levels, focus on our failings not what others DO.
 
This is about our level. The sooner the entitled fuckers that cry after every decent hard earned draw disappear the better

Fair enough then must have been a blinder that I've forgotten it. so that's 1 shot on target! Even its its 3 or 4 its not great is it.
Why float balls into the box for 2 strikers who aren't known for their heading ability, or constantly pull it back for no one to be there.

Not arguing that point mate. All I’m saying is on another day (with a different forward) we’ve buried a few of those.

Anyway I’m bored of Sunderland for today it’s cracking the pavement man.

Why waste so much of the season? We have seen what he can do. Out played by Oxford, dear me.

Nah, refs control it at higher levels. Obviously it exists but it’ll be the end of lower league football. I don’t wanna pay to watch a keeper take 3 minutes to take a goal kick

It was much the same as last season's garbage. Cant work out how he sets us up

Same here. Our right sided centre half (A full back by trade IIRC) appears to play much further up the field than his counterpart on the left. Is the silly Jock twat trying to be clever playing some exotic asymmetric formation? Or do the players not have clue where they're supposed to be?
 
The sooner ross fucks off the better , he has learnt absolutely Jack shit over the summer , I'm sick of looking at the prick on touchline arms folded and clueless

That was dreadful. The shape of that set up was disgraceful. It's like nothing has been worked on in terms of shape and structure in pre season. A decent team would have ripped through that back line. The Titanic could have sailed through the f***ing space.

The pre season clearly showed we didn’t have the players for this system. Questions have to be asked why Ross has persisted, a good team would have taken us apart.

Bit of both I think. What's clear is he never learns or changes. Say it again but a gift horse v Charlton was wasted then those last 2 friendlies then add that today and the pattern is ingrained. Hes absolute tosh
